W101 Direct showed nothing else.

Think we're in for a huge info dump.

Single player campaign details, at least 2 character reveals, release window, hopefully info on a demo/beta.

"Only" a Smash Bros. direct? After all this time? I have to say, I expected more.

You need a link as well, by the way.

I'm betting that it's not only for Smash Bros itself. I'm betting that Smash will be the central theme, but there will be some games attached to certain revealed characters. So, for instance, they might show off some more Hyrule Warriors in connection with revealing Sheik or Ganondorf. They might show off more Sonic Boom in connection with, say, Tails. Or Bayonetta 2 with a reveal of her in the game. You get the idea, of course.

We had a Pokemon Direct last year and all that was shown was pokemon X / Y related. I think it will be the same with Smash Bros.

The Pokemon Direct happened at the start of September, and Pokemon X/Y was released in mid-October. If Smash were expected in mid-May, I'd agree that this would make some sense. But why would you hold a fully-dedicated Smash Direct months before release, when you could hold the big stuff like that for E3?

Also, Pokemon has just a once-in-a-while bit of info released, whereas Smash has a website dedicated to continuously releasing info. So a fully-dedicated Smash Direct would be taking away from the content that would be posted on the website.

If they're not going to talk about related games, then the only other thing I can think of is that they're going to announce something directly Smash-related, like a VC release, or something.

Oooh, Id go for a VC release of the N64 version.

Remember, Pokémon XY was announced in a Pokémon Direct last January. But again, that was its announcement.
